ABC:  The CMA AWARDS were up 0.4 to 3.3 compared to 2016, although that faced off against Game 7 of the World Series.  The Awards were still down 0.4 from their 2015 mark.

CBS:  SURVIVOR was steady at 1.6.  The network opted for 9-11PM reruns against baseball last week, and compared to 2 weeks ago, SEAL TEAM and CRIMINAL MINDS wer both down 0.1 to 0.9.

NBC:  THE BLACKLIST remained at 0.9.  Like CBS, NBC aired 9-11PM reruns last week, and compared to 2 weeks ago, SVU was down 0.1 to 1.1, and CHICAGO PD fell 0.2 to 0.9.

FOX:  Returning after 2 weeks of World Series games, EMPIRE held at 1.8, and STAR was down 0.1 to 1.2.

CW:  RIVERDALE slipped 0.1 to 0.5.  Proving once again that ratings rules aren’t what they used to be, the newly-backordered DYNASTY stayed at 0.2.

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL switches to NBC tonight, and on ABC, GREY’S ANATOMY celebrates its 300th episode.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
